THE OPENING TIP
 
Georgia hits the road for the second consecutive game with a trip to Arkansas to take on the Razorbacks at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT inside Bud Walton Arena.
 
The Lady Bulldogs have won nine out of the last 10 meetings against Arkansas and own a dominating 30-5 edge in the all-time series. Georgia has only lost three times in Fayetteville.
 
Thursday’s contest starts the second half of the league schedule for these two teams. Both squads enter the stretch run of conference action with identical 2-6 records.
 
Senior guard/forward Pachis Roberts is Georgia’s leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 14.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Roberts, who averaged just 5.0 ppg during her first three collegiate seasons, has scored in double figures in nine-straight games.
 
Junior forward Mackenzie Engram has reached double figures in scoring in three-straight contests, averaging 15.6 points per game during that span.
 
Another bright spot for the Lady Bulldogs has been the play of freshman Stephanie Paul. Paul averaged just 2.2 ppg in non-conference action, but has upped her contributions to 6.9 ppg during SEC play.
